    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    Honestly, I torqued it to "that feels about right" and checked for leaks regularly for the next week or so with soapy water. Sorry I can't be more help on that one, mine was certainly an amateur installation. Jason

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    Hey, replied to your PM, but yeah, it's still hanging in there and doing well. We actually had a little bit of a winter here this year and it worked fine. I keep it at 65 for heat in the garage, and I saw temp drop to 63 I think when we were in the mid 20's. Garage is insulated, but just...

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    Little over a year, so thought I would give an update. This thing has pretty much run 24/7 for the last 13 months, with a couple of exceptions for the maybe 4 weeks a year when we don't need heating or cooling here, and a couple of days without power after a hurricane. The positives... It...

    Porcelain Tile Floor Care...

    What you see in my pic is a pattern of 6X24 and 12X24. Other than the "large" tiles, I did most everything else I could to make it easy on myself. The 12X24 were harder to level and I feel like I spent more time on them. On the other hand, they cover twice the area. I know I have some high /...

    Porcelain Tile Floor Care...

    I'm serious when I say this, thanks for looking out for safety. You make a good point, it is not safe to be under there as shown in this picture. If you look past the jack pad, you can see one jack stand, and I'm pretty sure the other can't be seen because the drivers side tire / wheel are...

    Porcelain Tile Floor Care...

    I haven't been around much lately, but I thought I would post a photo illustrating all the extra work I go through protecting my porcelain tile floor while working in the garage... or don't. I started off putting down mats or plywood, cardboard, etc. Now I just randomly drop transmissions on...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Out on Quaker Road

    Surprisingly fascinating thread ! My grandparents were the last in our family to farm, so it's cool to see what you do. It brings back some memories, of course they were never this modern. I have to say I was shocked when you mentioned your other job. I don't know how you do it, makes me...

    The DIY option. I will say that the current MrCool outside unit case looks exactly like the Pioneer... Not saying it is the same unit, but may share an OEM. Jason Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    Well, with the hurricane passing by and this thing on "dry" for the last week, I had a chance to test heat mode. It was 70 outside, and 66 inside. I didn't let it run very long, just long enough to let it switch modes and see it warm up. Seems to work... Jason Sent from my Nexus 6 using...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT The Garage at The Place in The Valley (Garage Condo 45x23x20)

    I had the same thought, never hurts to ask what they can do if they can't get around the requirement. Jason Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Not to thread jack, and sorry if this had been discussed, but Logikal, what is that you are working on ? Jason

    keyboard covers for shop computers (that make it easy to type)

    I support a couple hundred PCs in a manufacturing environment. I don't use them for the reasons listed above. Difficult to use, especially with gloves, only fit specific models, and now they aren't much cheaper than the keyboards themselves. We keep spare keyboards, and really replace fewer...

    Call them and test that warranty. Probably just the wireless adapter dongle, they should be able to send you a new one. Jason

    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    It has gone well for me so far, we'll see how it is performing in a year or two, but like you said, hard to beat the price. The bang for the buck is great. I agree with the lineset length, it would be nice if there were a couple of options, but now that I see that it is attached, that would be...
